Online Dispute Resolution s role critical during Covid-19 pandemic, says Justice Chandrachud ANI | Updated: Apr 11, 2021 07:06 IST
New Delhi [India], April 11 (ANI): The strength of Online Dispute Resolution (ODR) is founded in the concepts of decentralization, diversification, democratization and disentanglement of the entire justice delivery mechanism, Supreme Court Justice DY Chandrachud said on Saturday.
COVID-19 has transformed our lives in unimaginable ways, which inevitably also included the way courts operated with physical hearings giving way to virtual ones. The transition was difficult for everyone, including advocates, litigants and even court staff. However, while this process was initially slow, the concept of virtual hearings eventually came to find its place in the judicial ecosystem, top court judge, justice Chandrachud said.
